Hi Robert,
Neither Gruber-designed 25m yawl was designated as AH's personal yacht. One of them, believe the Ostwind was reserved as Raeder's, then Doenitz' personal yacht as head of the Navy. Do not know though, if he had much time to use her. There is an exquisite model of her still existing at a hotel-bar in Bremen-Vegesak. Both yachts were use in Cadet training at Flensburg. Rgds, RB
